I mean look I love movies not just the ones I make... In fact I don't like the movies I make very much.

For me relationships are the real action movies. Bombs are exploding every day and the kitchen is Ground Zero.

I didn't really want to do another sequel. I go to those movies and I just sort of enjoy them like a viewer.

I loved Alien and I loved Carrie and I loved The Exorcist - those were big movies for me. They were just brilliantly done and unusual and they all took horror to some new place.

I mean the trouble with some of the kind of relationship movies I've done is there's only so many ways you can shoot a conversation. I was really tired of talking heads.

I really liked Carrie a lot. That was one of Brian De Palma's best movies.

The kind of pace that you want to use in a Western - just to acknowledge the land in the distance that everyone has to travel and the way things develop sort of slowly - it's almost the antithetical of what's currently going on in the movies you know.

The movies that made me want to make movies were action movies and thrillers and Kurosawa films you know where you have an opportunity every day to shoot it in an unusual way. I was looking for something like that.

I really love the independent movies and I just think that sometimes when they throw a lot of money into it and a lot of special effects and a lot of stunts that you lose the connection the human connection and I personally love movies that are about the human connection.

Even though I make those movies I find myself wishing that more of those magic moments could happen in real life.

'Immortals' is all action. I love action movies. That's really where I want to spearhead my career.

When I meet gay fans out and about they're so great to talk to - and I'm big on hugging because I'm from the Midwest. They're just so energetic and loving. I'm proud to have those fans and their support means a lot to me. I don't want just girls coming to my movies I want guys to come too!

Movies for adults sucked in the 1980s and music for adults sucked even worse whether we're talking about Kathleen Turner flicks or Sting albums the decade's non-teen culture has no staying power at all.

The movies and the parts I'm being offered are becoming better and better.

All movies assault the viewer in one way or another.

People called '28 Days' and '28 Weeks' zombie movies and they're not! It's some sort of virus they're not dead.

The one regret I have about my own abortions is that they cost money that might otherwise have been spent on something more pleasurable like taking the kids to movies and theme parks.

I don't even like watching sex scenes in movies. I have a slight prudish side to me.

I'm into 'The Walking Dead ' 'Shaun of the Dead ' obviously and I've seen all the Romero movies. I am a classic zombie queen. And I love the White Walkers on 'Game of Thrones.' Weirdly it wasn't until pretty late in life that I found my entry point into horror films.

I filmed seven movies in 2011 and I think that was a mistake. I pushed myself too hard and I want to be able to come to work each day and give 100 percent. I guess I found out what my boundaries are.

I love crying at romantic movies like 'The Notebook.' I'm always bawling.

I've had the good fortune to have a much more diverse life than most people would professional sports and television and news and movies.

I have to say I regretted giving up animated movies.

I spent much of my later childhood and adolescence very very involved and interested in art and particularly in animated movies.
